B.Tech (Plastic Technology) or Bachelor of Technology in Plastic Technology is an Under-Graduate Plastic Technology course. Plastics engineering encompasses the processing, design, development, and manufacture of plastics products. Chemical engineering is the father of polymer engineering, which involves designing processes and equipment for producing new and different types of synthetic materials.

The Bachelor of Technology program in Plastic Technology focuses on the use of plastics in the production of products. The duration of the course in Plastic Technology is four years and it is career orienting in nature that provides many jobs for them after its completion. 

B.Tech (Plastic Technology) Eligibility                       

  • Aspiring candidates must have qualified their 10+2 examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or equivalent from a recognized Board. 
  • The students should have scored a minimum of 55% aggregate marks at their Intermediate level.
  • Some reputed colleges and institutes conduct entrance examinations for admission.

B.Tech (Plastic Technology) Colleges

B.Tech (Plastic Technology) Course Suitability

  • Those who want to help engineers and others, applying basic engineering principles to the manufacture of plastic products can go for it.
  • Students should also learn how plastics are processed, from compression to injection, molding, and fabrication.
  • They have the capacity of memorizing facts, acting on your knowledge to solve real-world challenges, such as designing an injection-molding die for a simple product.

How is the B.Tech (Plastic Technology) Course Beneficial?

  • It is beneficial to know how things work and design or make items. Plastics Technology is a study about developing new materials and technologies, equipment manufacturers are developing new processing machinery for medical plastics and about recycled or recyclable plastics this plastic is a wood-like product made from recovered plastic or recovered plastic mixed with other materials, which can be used as a substitute for concrete, wood, and metals.
  • The course also helps in further studies such as M.E / M.Tech, M.Phil., Ph.D., etc.
  • The transport sector, household appliances, goods, packaging and electricity, and telecommunication are the major areas, which demand plastics, hence are creating employment opportunities in this sector.
